Constellation nuclear plants to be discussed in public meeting

Regulators said Monday that they will hear about the performance of Constellation Energy Nuclear Group power plants next week — including Calvert Cliffs in Southern Maryland — in a public meeting in Baltimore.

Officials from Exelon-owned Constellation are scheduled to talk to Nuclear Regulatory Commission staffers about activities and licensing actions regarding its nuclear plants. The meeting is to begin 8 a.m. Monday at the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore hotel, 550 Light St.

A part of the meeting will be behind closed doors, as officials discuss security issues, but the rest will be open to the public, the regulators said.

Hershel Phillips is the youngest suspect in a large "crash-and-grab" ring that barreled through the doors of high-end stores and made off with more than $2 million in merchandise over the last several months, according to police.

The Chicago Cubs on Tuesday sought City Hall permission to expand construction hours at Wrigley Field, with bleacher work falling well behind schedule on the team's $375 million ballpark renovation project.
